Let us end the year with Colorado, ucla, Arizona st and Stanford and then I’m sure we will be glad to play our cupcakes earlier in the year
All those teams may be bad this year but have had top 20 teams in the recent past (last 10 years of so) that’s the difference. Playing a cupcake this late in the season is lame a shite. It’s bad football no one wants to see. Look at the attendance.

Doesn't the SEC usually play conference games earlier in the schedule than the rest of the Power 5? And nothing is stopping the other conferences from the same scheduling.
Funny how the B10 chose to go to 9 conference games. No one forced them too. So much for being the "smart" conference.

No SEC Team should ever have to answer to criticism like this while teams like Clemson get to coast through the season on an annual basis.
Clemson at least attempts to play decent teams, they are also tied to south carolina which limits the ability to schedule OOC teams.
Ohio State and Michigan are the problems, they don't play anyone year after year except the BIG

Ohio State has had non conference games against lots of powerhouses… specifically remember Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Oregon, and I think recently was Notre Dame
And Michigan used to play Notre Dame every year, and they’ve played Alabama and Florida recently

Bama played an FCS school in late November.
Bama..
We're not talking about Oregon State playing Fresno State to start the year.
We're talking about fricking Alabama, baddest boy on the block playing an FCS school while everyone else is playing rivals looking for a playoff spot.
If they're so awesome, why do they schedule dogshit year in and year out? Gaming the system. Teams have byes, weeks off, Bama schedules 4 byes a year.

Have Georgia and Alabama on the schedule, too.
2025, we'll be playing 11 P5 teams in the regular season.

They played ND this year, the acc plays ND every year (clemson literally played ND this year). My point is you can't shite on clemson without shitting on ohio and michigan also
ohio
2021 oregon
2020 nothing
2019 nothing
2018 tcu
2017 oklahoma
2016 oklahoma
2015 nothing
2014 nothing
Michigan is even worse
2022 nothing
2021 nothing
2020 nothing
2019 nothing
2018 ND
2017 UF
2016 nothing
Georgia Tech plays UGA and Clemson every single season which is singlehandedly harder than anything Ohio or Michigan has

No, there are Big Ten crybabies and they (like you), throw their little temper tantrums every year about how unfair the system is.

Nobody is “dickriding” in the SEC. We simply enjoy the fact that our conference is superior to the others by a wide margin. Unfortunately, you wouldn’t understand that.

There's an SEC commercial during games where the background noise are fans chanting "SEC! SEC! SEC!"
Obviously the Conference pushes this mindset.
Obviously they endorse it in their commercials.

You think Hendon Hooker would still be healthy if they were playing Austin Peay like Alabama did?
Considering he wasn’t touched by anyone on the opposing team when he went down? Yeah, he’d still be injured if Tennessee was playing Austin Peay. What a dumbass take.

I don't know about that.

We've been doing this for much of Saban's tenure. This shouldn't be news. Here's who we've played this same week in November dating back to 2009:
2009: UT-Chattanooga
2010: Georgia State
2011: Georgia Southern
2012: Western Carolina
2013: UT-Chattanooga
2014: Western Carolina
2015: Charleston Southern
2016: UT-Chattanooga
2017: Mercer
2018: The Citadel
2019: Western Carolina
2020: Arkansas (all SEC schedule due to Covid)
2021: Arkansas

Ask Klatt if any big 10 teams play teams like Tennessee, Florida, ole miss and bama all in a row like lsu did. The big 10 plays one or 2 tough games out of 12

Alabama has one of the toughest schedules in the country and they’re supposed to apologize because they have a cupcake game in November instead of when some bleeding heart journo wants it to be? GTFO with that weak stuff.
This isn’t the NCAA Tournament. There’s no expectation that the schedule is supposed to be tougher as you play more games. People would still bitch if our November consisted of Northwestern, Indiana, and Maryland.

For 1:40 because he plays for Saban. Hooker was injured 3:32 into the 4th quarter and was pulled in the 3rd in other blowout wins.
So no, I still don't think he's playing in the 4th quarter against Austin Peay.

Does anyone give SEC teams extra credit for playing conference games in week 2 or 3, while they’re still trying to figure out what their teams are, instead of fricking Arkansas State or Toledo?

Ohio State played Notre Dame in week one. Last year, we played Minnesota and Oregon in the first two weeks. I don't remember the last time we didn't play a P5 team in the first couple weeks.
Posted on 11/23/22 at 11:13 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
So if SEC teams are playing other P5 teams and conference games in the first three weeks they should be getting even MORE extra credit right?
